Reflections Theme Announced
The theme for the Reflections art contest for the 2008-09 school year will be "Wow!"  This theme will be very easy and exciting for our students to capture through their artwork.  You can have your child complete his/her artwork over the summer, if you so desire.  The artwork can be in any of the following categories:  photography, literature, visual arts, music, dance, or film/video production.  Projects will not be collected until the beginning of November.  Enjoy the summer, and encourage your child to capture any "Wow" moments!

OMS Needs You
Oakdale Middle School recently installed PTA officers for the 2008- 2009 school year.  All board positions are filled except that of Treasurer. If you have children in OMS, please consider helping in this role.  The OMS PTA is run on a smaller scale than that of DCES so your time commitment is much less than with the DCES PTA.  Newly elected OMS officers are all current or former DCES parents:

 Kelly Barger - President
 Kim Weitzig - Vice President
Wendy Jump - Secretary
County Delegate - Mark Koehler
Teacher Appreciation Committee - Elaine Kestner
